[Idea?] New crafting for Stairs

I have been told that Aikar can do crafting stuff. So here is my idea.

Stairs They are used a lot. And 6 blocks apparently equals 4 stairs. That is wasting 2 blocks, not counting the 1/4 of a blocks that are unused.

So what do I want changed?I would either:6 materials=6 Stairs (Sounds logical)OR6 materials=8 Stairs (This is the one counting the 1/4 blocks. If you make 6 blocks into 3/4 blocks, you end up with 6 1/4 blocks yet to be used. Those 1/4 blocks can be converted to stairs.)

I just found inspiration for my next pointless mod ( I make random and usually pointless things for minecraft because I don't have the time for big projects. My last one was making harvesting wheat drop carrots lol )

In order to make sense of the recipe(at least for me), you can't look at it as six wood planks that form three steps. Instead I say that those six blocks get compressed or are transformed into four single blocks. They are not conserved, but changed into the new item(s) instead.

Compare it to the Piston recipe, where you are turning three Planks, four Cobble, an Iron ingot, and a piece of Redstone into a single block: Why don't you get 9 Pistons?

Or a single Stone Button from a whole Block of Stone: Why not more than one button? Just getting one button seems equivalent to using a whole tree to make one toothpick.

If you look at the stair recipe as a transformation it makes more sense. You place 6 planks into a grid of 9 slots in a stair-step pattern and they are transformed into stairs. The ingredient/product ratio even sort of makes sense: 6 planks/9 slots = 4 stairs/6 planks. Two thirds ratio for both ingredients and products.

Considering all the other magical things that we take for granted in the game, I see no problem with most of the recipes.

There are so many things in this game that I have looked up and when I saw the answer thought, "Of course that's what it is.". Want a shovel? Put a Diamond on a Stick. Want a Boat? Put Planks in a boat shape. Want a Helmet? Make an upside down bowl to wear on your head.
